"Dopamine pathways in schizophrenia"

dopamine pathways. The reason for examining the brain dopamine pathway was based on the finding by Ehringer and Hornykiewicz [6] that the Parkinsonism of Parkinson’s disease was associated with a major loss of brain dopamine. It was thought, therefore, that the unwanted …
